I'm always having some kind of ideas and the internet can really help someone with disabilities. I have several friends that are disabled and to one friend in particular I said "never say never".
Marcie Budgell told me she took pillowcases, traced coloring pages on them and colored them in for gifts. I sent her some pillowcases . . . and a crafter is born!
Marcie was born with spina bifida and lives in Middle Arm Newfoundland Canada. She loves her church, her family and a collection of teddy bears she has. She LOVES doing the pillowcases and I love her work - I love the colors she's using but I bet if you needed a baby gift she can whip out the pastels!
She's had many requests for her work and I'm so glad for her. When I talk to her on instant messenger I don't think of her as disabled. I guess sometimes I get into the "mother" role since Amy is her age LOL. Because of her location and disability it's hard for her to find a job. It's always nice to do something you LOVE and get paid for it. Of course I'm feeding her ideas LOL but I think once she gets this off the ground she's going to do great!
this is her group on Facebook - just stop on by and request what you'd like! She's also doing names, etc. but the basic drawing/coloring on the pillowcase is $15.00 and names, etc. will be extra.
Any other info you want to know let me know - she is just getting things set up.
I like it when someone gets excited about something - it's contagious.
